My theory on who the sword belongs too

[kotoamatsukami]

[1] I highly doubt it's Ulquiorra. There is simply no possible way for him to return.

I don't know what version you read, but on mangareader I looked up the chapter and Ulquiorra said, and I quote, "If you do not cut me down now, then this fight will forever remain unsettled."

Emphasis on the "forever", implying this was their last battle, and also the last opportunity for Ichigo to settle it - meaning, Ulquiorra is dead and will not return.

I'm seeing other people commenting it being Yoruichi or Isshin. This does not make sense. The way the person is standing next to Urahara and the facial expressions Urahara makes implies this is a non-friendly, threatening person. Why would either Yoruichi or Isshin do that?

This mystery person is either an entirely new character, possibly Nel, or probably Grimmjow.

[2] Perhaps, but it was a brutal way of killing someone and you can see the brute force utilized. I think you seem to misunderstand something about Grimmjow's character - he enjoys killing people who rival him in strength or form a threat to him. Typically, that would be the moment he'd laugh. If the mystery person is Grimmjow, it wouldn't be out of character at all. Obviously Opie wouldn't be a threat to him and rather than enjoying the kill and laughing about it, Grimmjow would see Opie more as an obstacle between him and whatever it is that he wants, so he decides to clean him up. The sword at Urahara's head would be a show of dominance and power. All in all, it's something that I could very easily see him doing.

Ulquiorra would probably not use as much force and show of strength to simply kill one opponent. I doubt he'd even bother to move all the way over to Kisuke either, he would simply stand near Opie and look at Urahara from a distance. Ulquiorra does not feel the need to establish his dominance, it's not like him to either.

About it not being yoruichi or isshin becuz he looks scared part..note:he is not looking Up at the person face an they just appeard in front of him in a flash he is surprised more than scared.

Don't hate on me for it but I really want it to be Gin. It looks like his Zanpakuto and we never saw him fully 100% die like we did with Uluquiorra, also I think if it was Gin that would send shivers down anyone's spine, including Urahara's.

We see him say Ichigo can take it from here since he failed. But he never actually dies in the scene.

I though gin said now I can die in peace.

 

[MarBellarke]

My best guess is that it is Grimmjow!

I can't believe it.... it seems that Byakuya's gonna die.

He's not going to die. He's going to use his Utsusemi and leave a cut up robe behind.

It doesn't matter how powerful the opponent is. Byakuya will never be killed with 1 hit. Kubo isn't nearly that stupid

Unless Zanpakutō can suddenly change it can't be any of the Espada judging by how the blade looks. It also can't be Gin using that reasoning.

Then again... maybe Zanpakutō can change and I'm wrong

Why are you ruling out the Espada (Grimmjow in particular I assume) by how the blade looks? In Bleach, 99% of all zanpaktous look like regular katanas in their unreleased state. It could most definitely be Grimmjow.

Well I figured it couldn't be any of them due to the black top of the sword - I know they all look like regular katana but in the anime for example they don't have the black topside - buut.. whilest trying to find proof I discovered in the manga they do infact all have black tops. So there goes that

I would love to see Grimmjow again tho but to think he's able to scare Urahara like that is doubtful / but possible.

Ulquiorra can be returned. The key person would be Orihime. Remember how she healed Grimmjow's missing hand? Out of nothing. By now with her powers so developed she would be able to bring him back. He was the most powerful arrancar afterall (Ichigo dying twice and going all out is one of the proofs) so he would be a great help if he was willing to help and he would be since Orihime is there (as shown in the relationship chart made by the creator,he has fallen for her). Besides he did say their fight wasn't over and to end the show that would need a conclusion. And it would be hilarious to see some Ulquiorra vs Ichigo (non)verbal fights while being on the same side.
I'm not too sure if this is Grimmjow, even though it was said he will return (and he will),I wouldn't bet on anyone.

Nope. There's no logic in your response.

This is a life we're talking about, and the powers that Inoue has basically reverts things that have happened. Ulquiorra essentially died, you can't reverse a death. If she could, she would be a God. As much as Kubo likes OP powers, he would never do something like that. This isn't DBZ where you can simply revive anyone you want.

Secondly, Ulquiorra is far from being the strongest espada. Ichigo going all out means Ulquiorra is the strongest? I don't see how that works.

And Ulquiorra only said their fight wasn't finished because he rotted away automatically before Ichigo could cut him down. Ichigo would have won either way from all the damage his hollow form did.

Agree with this ^

Not to mention the fact that Orihime wouldn't even dream about bringing back Ulquiorra even if she could. Why would she want to bring back an enemy that, for all intents and purposes, killed Ichigo? So stupid.

 

[Yoshi Uzamaki]

I got it........ITS NO OTHER THAN.....JIN KARIYA...LOL..back from the dead...no but what if it was that lost shimigami....ashido kano..lol....ok im done trollin,,sorry

Isshin. That is all.

It's Ginjou, final answer. Lol.

You almost had a point but then I remembered all the fraccion that "died" and came back.

If I do remember correctly, just to point out..Ulquiorra's true ability was regeneration, just like Hollow Ichigo..only Hollow Ichigos seems more automatic and requires no effort, or even being alive..plus I can only imagine Ulquiorra trying to return to life + Orihime's ability = very possible

JUST SAYIN BRO.. 3 FODDER FRACCION RETURN BUT SUPER POWERFUL GOD REGEN ESPADA CAN'T?

Uh what fraccion? The 3 people under Harribel? They never died.

Orihime's ability is basically to revert things back to original form. It's not even technically healing. A life can't be reverted.

Regeneration and revival are not the same. What do you want Ulquiorra to regenerate? His life? What do you want Inoue to revert? Ulquiorra's life? Sorry, not possible.

Btw the only place Ulquiorra right now is most likely Hell. One does not simply escape hell unless your name is Ichigo. Then again Ichigo was alive when he entered, but even then Hell wanted to keep him there. Whereas Ulquiorra is dead.

Halibel's three fraccion were never killed. Yamamoto explicitly said he wasn't going to kill them out of respect for their courage:

Ulquiorra is dead. I don't see how he can regenerate from ashes that got blown into the wind...

I said that it's Ulqui but only because i wanted to see him :#
